Just recently my computer has started behaving funny. I
have a Vaio made by Sony with Windows XP. It has a Lucent
Technologies soft modem amr. My net commections work well
during the day and early evening. It runs at 52 kbps, but
between 7:30 and 8:20 the speed drops to around ten and
that is the last of my using the net till morning. I have
jumped through hoops with MSN 8 support and they told me
to update my modem driver. Now I can't find any updates.
Can anyone help me.

Thank you.
 
This used to happen to me when I used dial-up - what it
is :
That is prime time for everyone and their sister to get
online and check email or what not - that is what the
slow down is - MSN has gotten too big for it's britches.
Along with many other ISPs.
Cable internet for me, thank you very much.

And cable can also be a problem. With cable, you and all your neighbors
share the same bandwidth for Internet traffic. As more and more of your
neighbors get cable access, you'll see a marked drop in your Internet speed
as well.
